Flying visit to Seattle

The doormen were our first contact at the hotel as we drove up - very friendly and helpful !
Wonderful reception area and a quick efficient checkin to our room ! Decor is a bit dated for 2014 ( my taste is a bit more modern / chic ) but very well appointed and very clean - no complaints ! Comfy beds - good shower ! Hotel is located in easy walking distance of Pike Place Market and the surrounding streets of shopping, bars, coffee shops and restaurants. We walked back from the underground tour in the rain - and it was great ! Walking distance to the ferry to Bainbridge Islsnd too ! We were able to leave our luggage at reception and the parking was ok until 6pm on our departure date - only we hit the rush hour traffic heading north !
Lovely stay - friendly staff - clean room - great location - what more do you want ? Would stay here again !

I enjoyed my stay! The rooms need a makeover. The Spa is expensive, nice, but expensive. Had to go to adjoining W Hotel and to Four Seasons to get early morning Bloody Mary. I was here instead of New Orleans due to the Rain and Heat in New Orleans.
I LOVED SEATTLE!!!

I'm going back to stay

From the minute our taxi hit the front portico until we left the premises three days later, this Hotel and it's well-trained, friendly and caring staff went over board to make my first trip to Seattle a resonding success. I can't say enough good things about the Faimont Olympic. Head and shoulders above some the the grand hotels around the world i've stayed in over thelast 50 years.

The tour to Crystal Mountain on the gondola was super with a great view of Mount Ranier. The Argosy luncheon harbor cruise was also fun and informative. Took a winery tour that was OK- one winery not so good but 2 were good.

Ladies Getaway

The best part of this hotel, the Fairmont Olympic in Seattle is the staff. We found each and every one to be courteous and willing to go beyond the norm to be helpful. We would happily go back there. Our luggage was lost by the airline and the hotel staff made every effort to find it while providing us with the necessities to make it through until the luggage arrived.
